Family Tree Maker software

The FTM User Group meets to support those who use 'Family Tree Maker' software to organize their genealogical research. There is no direct or commercial connection between the FTM UG or members to Ancestry.com, the previous owners of the Family Tree Maker program or 'The Software MacKiev Company', new owners of Family Tree Maker program (from March 2016)". It's facilitated by volunteers who are willing to share their knowledge and experiences; everyone is welcome, whether you are a potential FTM user, new user or a long term user.

The focus of the group is on getting data into and out of FTM in support of our individual research efforts.

At meetings there are presentations on techniques, tips, hints and experiences in using the many and varied features of the program.
